  Monarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The distinguishing characteristic of monarchies is that the Head of State holds their office for life, unlike in a republic, where a president is normally elected for a certain amount of time.
The order of succession in most European monarchical states of the 21st century is by primogeniture, meaning the eldest son of the monarch is first in line, followed by his male, then female siblings in order of age.
Sometimes, component members of federal states are monarchies, even though the federal state as a whole is not; for example each of the emirates that form the United Arab Emirates has its own monarch (an emir).

 Abstracts - African Topics
Although the developing state was being organized on a supra-kinship basis, it is quite clear that women emerged as political actors primarily because of their roles and statuses within kinship groups, whether based on descent or affinity.
It appears that these African states, unlike many of their European counterparts, never reached the stage in evolution when their lines of succession were so secure that males did not fear competition from royal females or their offspring.
I argue that state policies have been ambiguous with respect to women, in some respects benefiting and in some respects undermining their autonomy — which is, in any case, limited.

 Mobbing of Nigerian Stars in The United States, The Underlying Lessons - Oliver Mbamara
While the Nigerian Movie stars came to the United States, got mobbed, and may have returned to Nigeria, it is pertinent to ask if there are any underlying implications in the manner they were received.
After all said and done, one good side to the clamor for the Nigerian Movie Stars on their visit to the United States is the fact that the stars now know how much influence they could wield and how much impact they could make with their work as movie makers, producers, directors, actors, and actresses.
What they learn from those Nigerian movies they love to watch go a long way to help build their understanding of African culture, especially for those who are not able to visit Africa or live in it to learn the African culture.
